Azzoli or Varilone Help Finding Info.

[nazzoli]

I am looking for any information regarding my grandfather Charles Azzoli, or Carlo before he came to the United States. He came over from Italy in the early 1900's.
Also, I am looking for any information regarding my grandmother Antoinette Varilone. She also came to the United States in the 1900's.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ciao Nazzoli,

if this is your grandfather and if you need records from Italy you can write to the Municipality of Cassino, you can find the exact date of birth of Charles /Carlo Azzoli in his WWI Draft Card:




DOB June 27, 1894 in Cassino, Italy

You can write an e-mail to Mr. Giampalolo Dedicato Dirigente Settore Demografico e Servizi Sociali

yes in Cassino the bombing destroyed so much registries, but in any case in the Archive of Frosinone it are the second registries that was microfilmed by LDs, so available for you; it are the civil records from 1809 to 1900 http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... umns=*,0,0

Nazzoli, this post from Suanj can be helpful for you.....

And from this site you can read about the Cassino areas:

Thank you for your help regarding my grandfather. I am rather new to the genealogy research and would appreciate any other help you may have regarding this.

Also, if you have any information regarding US records please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi, I'll try to post for you the records I found....
If you can confirm that the Draft card it's about your grandfather I think these others records are concerning the same person:

Carlo Azzoli 1912 arrival

He was 18 and leaving his father Nicola in Cassino (Italy), was going to meet his brother in law Marino Angelosanto in 343 Brady Street, Detroit MI. In fact the next document is the 1920 Census for him, living (as a brother in law) in the family of Marino Angelosanto, same address he gave when he arrived in USA.

1920 Census for Charles Azzoli:

Now searching for 1930 census... Was he married in 1930??

Is this your Charles Azzoli?


Michigan Deaths, 1971-1996
about Charles Azzoli
Name: Charles Azzoli
Birth Date: 27 Jun 1899
Death Date: 27 Jun 1989
Gender: Male
Residence: Fowlerville, Livingston, Michigan
Place of Death: Howell, Livingston, Michigan

Day and month of birth matching....

Laura

[pink67]

As I don't find the 1930 census for Charles, would you give a look at this 1930 Census about Antonietta Varilone?
She's living with her parents (Mike and Teresa) age 22, married from the age of 18, born in Italy, emigrated in 1912.
The line under shows a Charles as son in law (of Mike) possibly
Antonietta's husband? But the age of this boy doesn't matches with our previous ....
Is this the right Varilone's family?

The information about Charles Azzoli is the correct information. The stories I have heard about his immigration over to the united states is that he came over with his brothers birth certificate because he was too young to travel alone. This is why I am unable to pinpoint an exact birthdate. But the Charles Azzoli where is residence was in Fowlerville and death in Howell is correct. I am not exactly sure of the marriage date.
As for the Varilone family you have found this is the correct information. Mike and Theresa are my great grandparents. My sister Teresa is named after our great grandmother. I am having a hard time tracking down any information on ellisisland.org regarding the family going through there. Have you been able to find anything?
Thank you so much for your help.
Do you know of a good way to try and get in touch with anyone in the Cassino area to maybe find any information out about my family? I have currently sent an email out to Mr. Giampalolo Dedicato and anxiously await a response. To our knowledge the church that housed his birth certificate has burnt down.

This is (I believe) the 1907 Manifest Arrival about Charles's brother...
STEFANO AZZOLI, age 23, married, from Cassino, going to meet his brother in law Marino Angelosanto in Detroit MI.

Now searching for Varilone's arrival.....

Michele Varilone 1909 arrival:

page 2:

[img=http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/1599 ... pw7.th.jpg]

He was going to some relative (I can't understand the relation, maybe brother?) Antonio Varilone in Detroit and was leaving in Italy his wife Teresa Alonzo (?) in Villa Latina.... So we may search Teresa's arrival both under her maiden name and under Varilone surname.....

Laura

[pink67]

And this is Teresa's arrival with her daughter Antonietta:

Ship Florida sailing from Naples on February 26, 1901, arriving in New York on March 13, 1910-
Line 5, 6....

You can find Teresa in the Ellis Island site under her mispelled surname Alouzi

Laura

[nazzoli]

How were you able to find her maiden name?

[nazzoli]

Can u confirm a Dominic Varilone? I am hearing this may be Antoinettes father. But we can not confirm this. A brother may make sense.

He was going to some relative (I can't understand the relation, maybe brother?) Antonio Varilone in Detroit and was leaving in Italy his wife Teresa Alonzo (?) in Villa Latina.... So we may search Teresa's arrival both under her maiden name and under Varilone surname.....

Laura

So I tried to search under the various spelling of the Alonzo Surname......
